GP - Wincanton Health Centre at Salaried, Employed or Consultant level inWincanton inWincanton PUBLISHED FRI 1 NOV 2024

GP Wincanton Health Centre.

At Salaried (including Newly Qualified), Employed or Consultant level.

Exceptional opportunity with this innovative primary care provider at our practice in Wincanton, Somerset, with 4 sessions per week available.

Salary: Between £11,000 - £14,000 per session - based on experience and level of GP role undertaken in practice.

In order to support an excellent working environment, we can offer BMA safe working conditions, including 15 minute appointments.

Were an innovative and semi-rural training practice on the borders of Somerset, Dorset and Wiltshire. Wincanton is a thriving town with unique cafes and eateries, very close to Bruton and Castle Cary with excellent links to the A3and London and home to the famous Wincanton Racecourse.

The practice supports over 9000 patients and the large multidisciplinary team includes an acute team of Nurse Practitioners and Paramedic Practitioners who manage all on-the-day demand, acute home visiting and the minor injury service for the locality.

Were also part of Symphony Healthcare Services, a large and innovative primary care provider in Somerset supporting a network of 19 GP practices. By working at scale in primary care we can offer you the opportunity to develop specialist skills with the support of a larger organisation to develop your GP career. We are also a member of the Rural PCN.

You would undertake all the clinical duties associated with a GP working in primary care, without the responsibilities and risks associated with being a partner. We can offer opportunities from salaried through to employed and consultant level GP posts depending on your experience and the level of responsibility you take on at the practice.

All GPs working for us are paid as Employees, unlike Partners, which means less risk for you and more time to focus on patient care. We put patients first, with our Employed and Consultant GPs working flexibly according to need, so contributing to areas such as QOF, QI training and research projects providing a huge amount of variety to the role. However, our Salaried GPs have a clearly defined job plan setting out the hours of work and responsibility and tasks associated with the role.

Through annual appraisal, we encourage career development and progression and are keen to support GPs who wish to extend their role, or have specialist skills which can be utilised in primary care. We recognise that some GPs will wish to stay salaried, and some will wish to assume more responsibility once they have found their feet and aspire to Employed or Consultant roles.
